== Reasons to move away meetup ==
If a quick research about meetup, their website, app problems, interfaces and at times rude technical support is not reason enough, in comparison with [[Kommunity]], the later offers several advantages starting by not being paid.
* Bulleted list item
=== The bladers group on meetup===
* Unfortunately management of the group is very restrictive to one person only who only logs in once or twice a year (if that much)
* Some group management features are not available to all organizers which limits what the group can do.
* The group has not been updated in almost a decade
* Meetup accounts getting disabled for ''chatting to much'' among friends in private
* Meetup accounts getting disabled because the member logged in from another country or from what is thought not to be a usual ip address connection
* Meetup accounts getting disabled because of meetup spam filters that ignore legit communication between members
* Meetup accounts getting punished because someone complained about someone else that was not woke and therefore was against minorities
* Too many inactive organizers that have not skated for months or years or have given up [[inline skating]].
* Too many catfish members that only RSVP to mess with the event
* RSVP collectors: People RSVP to an event to gain social status but hardly ever show up. Some people have collected up to 1300 RSVP's while not even attending 10% of it.
* Too many bots pretending to be members
* Too many members that never login or even subscribe to the group notices
* Too many ''female'' accounts that are actually bots just to try to attract men o the group
* Too many women that RSVP and last minute do not show up to the event and don't even care to change the RSVP to let us know
* Too many women looking for hookups or for that cute guy that they might meet, instead of actually skating
* Too many members that are not even in Canada but actually live in other countries and never join any event
* Too many members that block messages from organizers
* Too many members that RSVP to events for which they do not qualify in terms of skill and or equipment. (ie: beginners who RSVP to advanced events. 76 mm wheels for events where the wheel size is between 100 mm and 125mm)
* In 2021 around 400 accounts have not logged in to the group in over 2 years
* in 2021, 90% of the skaters are assumed beginners in terms of skill according to their profiles
* By mid 2021 (June), from  the 150 new accounts created this year, 140 were beginners that started skating in the same year and many wanted to be in advanced skating events.
* Main organizer has never addressed any group issues or assigned someone to them
* Main organizer has given up skating and moved to a different sport and has not done maintenance to the group
* Rude meetup tech support
* Mobile app full of trackers and privacy invasive features
* Permanent online chat history
* Involvement in politics
* Discriminatory methods done by some meetup administrators
* Paid service
* Support team made of 7 people only
* Poor social media integration
